I'm sure Ricky wasn't the...That's true. I'm sure Ricky wasn't the first man in Naroni to marry a first cousin of his who happened to look a lot like his mother, and he probably won't be the last either. And since they're both Roderick-grandspawn, it really was kind of inevitable. XD<br /><br />They really are sweet together, ooky resemblances aside. Ricky has always been unconditionally fond of Hollie, even before any romantic feelings would have been there. And Hollie's always found Ricky to be a low-pressure safe space, which she really did need for a while there; now that she's come into her own more, he's still able to fill that role as she figures out what to do with her adulthood.<br /><br />Any posthumous spite to Ietrin is fine by me. :)Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325395792013382406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454462454354598319.post-86299930690156417752017-05-18T12:21:42.760-07:002017-05-18T12:21:42.760-07:00Oh my god, Hollie does look so like her in that pi...Oh my god, Hollie does look so like her in that picture. But with all the cousin marriages going on in Naroni, maybe it's easy to overlook the resemblances? There's practically an army of people with Roderick's eyes running around, after all. <br /><br />Hollie and Ricky are so adorable together. I'm glad he stuck out all those years as a bachelor so Hollie would be an option. (And glad that Lorn had his 'the duke must pick his own duchess' rule.) And Hollie has managed to come into her own after one of the most atypical childhoods imaginable for her time and status. <br /><br />(And I can't help but hope that Ietrin is burning up that Jeda's daughters are the queen and the future ladies of two shires. So much for sending them to the ends of the Earth!)
